>> axelrod: good evening. this is a western edition of the broadcast. it was just about a quarter past 11:00 on a typically busy saturday morning at one of the largest malls in the washington, d.c. metro area when someone started shooting inside a skate and snow boarding store. suddenly there was nothing typical about this saturday at this mall in colombia, maryland. as jeff pegues reports, inside three people, including the gunman, were dead. >> reporter: saphone lilly is one of the survivors of the shooting. she says the shooter was young and firing randomly. she was outside the hospital when she told us that the gunman shot at her, too. >> the shooter looked straight at me from the second-floor level and shot the first time, i ducked. the plaster in the wall came all over me. i moved my niece out of the way. my girlfriend was there. and he shot again. >> reporter: the shooting happened at 11:15 a.m. in a packed colombia mall. shoppers ran for cover. george miles said he heard the sound of gunfire.

>> there was a loud boom! boom! and them another, you know, boom, boom! >> reporter: lauren stapleton was near the victims. >> they fell to the ground. i didn't know if i should go over and try something, but i didn't want to get hurt. i didn't want to get shot. >> the victim has been identified as brianna benlolo and tylor johnson. investigators believe the gunman was acting alone when he was armed way shotgun. he shot and killed the victims on the upper level of the mall near a store called zumiez. police say they have trained many times for a situation like this, and today they were on scene. bill mcmahon, the police chief. >> when our officers approached, he was obviously deceased, but he was also still-- had a large amount of ammunition still on and about him. >> reporter: they trained, but still it took them hours to clear the mall, going store to

store, clearing out shoppers and workers who had taken cover. lauren logan hid in the back of the salon where she works. >> we were just calling family and friends and just telling them we were okay and we were secure. >> it's just too scary for me to even want to ever go through this again. >> reporter: five people were injured in the shooting. one suffered a gunshot wound to the foot. jim, investigators are still searching for a motive and would not comment on reports that this was a domestic situation. >> reporter: jeff pegues in columbia, maryland, thank you. now to the deep freeze which has broken or tied more than 2,600 cold weather records in the lower 48 states so far this month and there's still a week left. the frigid temperatures and the way some people are trying to stay warm are fueling a spike in the type of fires that are among the most difficult to fight. here's terrell brown. >> reporter: the six-alarm fire raged in union city, new jersey, friday, when it was 10 degrees outside with a wind chill of

minus five. >> it shows how could it was that night. >> reporter: fire chief frank montain said this is the busiest time of year for fire calls. >> people are cold in their house. they want to get more heat into the house and there may be some misuse of some of that equipment. the heaters, the space heaters we have seen have been a problem in our area. >> reporter: but when firefighters arrive on the scene of these fires, flames aren't their only concern. because of the frigid cold and ice, they have to move more slowly and cannot work for long periods of time. hydrants freeze, making water difficult to find, and when water is available it becomes a big hazard. it immediately freezes on anything it touches, affecting everything from radio communication to firefighters' protective uniform. >> once the water starts hitting the gear that's added weight. firefighters carry 40-50 pounds just for their normal gear. now add water and ice freezing on it, and firefighters are coated in ice. >> reporter: deputy fire chief >> deputy fire chief book cussen fought a fire in syracuse this week and said the weight of the ice also creates another

challenge. >> you can see the ice build up on the building. that creates more weight on the structure itself and the fire it's building is already under attack by the fire. it weakens the structure and now you have additional weight hanging on it from the ice. >> reporter: here in new jersey, that thick ice has firefighters concerned about the possibility of collapse, even after the flames are out. and when these large fires break out, sometimes double the number of firefighters are called to the scene, jim, so they can be rotated out of the cold to avoid frostbite. >> axelrod: unbelievably difficult conditions. terrell, thank you. ice is also causing all kinds of trouble on rivers throughout the northeast. look at what's going on in pittsburgh, where the famed three rivers are choked with ice up to eight inches thick in some places. ice jams are delaying barges along the delaware river as well. let's turn to lauren casey of our minneapolis station wcco. lauren, the question everyone wants to know, how much longer is this going to last? >> yeah, jim it's cold and snowy

across parts of the northeast today but a second dose of even colder air is set to blast in this week. highs across the lower midwest will drop to the single digits and below zero by tuesday. low temperatures in the 20s will move as far south as northern florida tuesday night. and philadelphia and new york will experience several days this week with highs only in the teens. near minneapolis, we'll contend with the bitter blast with low temperatures of 20 below, and high temperatures of ten below on monday. area schools will likely close due to extreme cold for the fourth time this month. >> axelrod: lauren casey with what is sure to be an unpopular forecast. there is another retail chain alerting customers their credit card information could be compromised. michael's the arts and crafts chain announced today it may have been the latest victim of a data breach. the secret service is investigating. more than 300 passengers and

particularly if there is some kind of threat, like we've seen here. sochi is near the rest of caucuses region where government forces it be to battle militants and terrorist bombings are a relatively frequent occurrence. stephen sestanovich is a former ambassador at large to the soviet union. terrorism has been a concern around the olympics since the '72 games. are these games any different? >> these games are different in that you had terrorist saying in the run-up, "this is our target." >> reporter: russia has launched the largest security effort in olympic history but u.s. is taking no chances with the estimated 10,000 americans taking the trip. it is stationing two ships in the area. >> if we need to extract our citizens, we will have appropriate arrangements with the russians to do that. >> reporter: some athletes, like skater tucker frederics, have asked their families to root for them from home.

>> tucker wants to be focused on the race, and he's asked us and his wife if we would stay home and watch it on tv. >> reporter: a former olympian said the spirit of the games is not what it used to be. >> it just makes it maybe not as fun that you have to worry nowadays when everything is security, security, and, you know, it's just too bad. >> reporter: opening ceremonies are february 7. >> axelrod: 29 people were killed in a series of clashes in egypt today on this, the third anniversary of the revolution that led to the overthrow of hosni mubarak, fueling the arab spring. in cairo alex reports on the country's growing instability. >> reporter: anti-government protesters tried to take to the streets today but were violently disbursed by security forces. today marks three years since the start of egypt's revolution, but now with a crackdown on all opposition, only supporters of the military were allowed to gather in public. three years ago in this very

spot, egyptian protesters did the unthinkable, pushing through lines of riot police to reach the square and demand mubarak step down. today it's less of a protest than a festival, a support of the country's police and powerful military. that's where thousands of army supporters gathered. we met a business woman who says after all the turmoil, she's fed up with egypt's experiment with democracy. >> that's what we really want. we want a strong man to run the country. fattah al-sisi, all sides waiting for him to decide whether he'll run and likely win egypt's next presidential election. alex ortiz, cbs news, cairo. >> axelrod: later, the french disconnection. the president and his longtime companion break up. and here's something never seen before-- not in 1,000 years. those stories when the cbs evening news continues.
